Eight Love Letters to Sally London at Rainbow Gallery

Cosmopolitan Sally, Stitched by Me



The newest series from Leigh Designs is called "Sassy Sallys" and it is a love letter to Sally London, the general manager of Rainbow Gallery.  Each of the eight Sallys are stitched entirely with Rainbow Gallery threads and each has a stitch guide.

You can check out Pat's Sallys on her blog.  She did the Ugly Christmas Sweater and the Car Hop Sallys.  Of course if you want to stitch yourself a blonde Sassy or you want a redhead, it's easy to change the hair color.

These are for you, Sally!  Thanks for everything….

I stumbled across this abstract pattern from Terry Enfield on eBay.  The stitch guide is from Brenda Hart.   The canvas is still available from The Red Thread and of course Brenda probably has the guide available as well.
